From Animal House to Our House

The most fun Jill and I have had during this process is trawling through auctions and salvage stores for period-appropriate details. We've come across some really great finds, including late-19th-century lights and great 3-by-6-foot mirrors for above the fireplaces.

Wiring runs from the basement through the newel post to light this ornate, late-19th-century pot-metal fixture.
